Day 7 – Hurricane Flossie

We probably wouldn’t have had a rest day if we knew Flossie was on her way!

Hurricane Flossie has now been downgraded to a Tropical Storm (Erin). Due to hit Houston later today and we will probably get the remnants tomorrow which will mean the flying might be curtailed - Forecast is for lighter winds today but Friday and Saturday look written off!

Tropical Storm Erin formed Wednesday in the Gulf of Mexico and headed toward Texas, threatening to bring downpours to a state that already has had one of its rainiest summers on record.
